Shiri Touati

From From Dusk till Jawn
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Patron of the Arts

Despite being a relatively young family leader, Shiri has the unusual distinction of having been granted permission by the Sakima to embrace new kindred more frequently than any other family head in the city, with five. Since they're a member of the Circle of the Crone, like the Sakima, there might be an inclination to believe that there's nepotism involved, but that's not the case; they seem to just have a talent for finding people with the sort of perspectives and talents that the Sakima is likely to accept, and then for raising capable, loyal, and law abiding kindred citizens who maintain an almost fanatical loyalty to Shiri.

They're also well connected in the city's art scene, with a gallery that plays host to some of the biggest art shows in the city and territorial control over the Avenue of the Arts. The latter is a situation that would probably cause more conflict with the Daeva if not for the fact that the Touati family is very open with their territory except for hunting purposes. Despite their family's control of that district, a number of members of other clans (Daeva and otherwise) maintain business in Touati territory.

RP Hooks
  • Art - Shiri is a well known painter who has a gallery in the Avenue of the Arts, as well as a controlling interest in a theater. They frequently sponsor up and coming artists, and they're well known for being free with their money and support for people with talent.
  • Jewish - There aren't a lot of Jews in the Circle of the Crone, but Touati is one of them. While they're prone to getting along with most kindred who don't cross them, Touati has little patience or tolerance for members of the Lancea et Sanctum who can't keep their religion to themselves. More than once they have simply banned people from their territory for not dropping the subject when asked politely.
  • LGBTQ Community - Shiri's presence in the LGBTQ community in Philly is nearly as well established as their presence in the arts community. They're a frequent sponsor of different events, are active in both offline and online queer spaces, and they frequently show up as the top donor on GoFundMe pages for LGBTQ people in need, particularly those with disabilities.
  • Disabled - There aren't very many disabled Kindred. It tends to make people more surprised when they realize that Shiri is always seen in a wheelchair. There's a rumor that Banan Mac Lochlainn has claimed he could heal the damage that prevents them from walking, and that he even owes them a boon, but that they have consistently declined to call it in for that purpose, claiming that they'd rather use the boon for something of more value to their family, when the time comes.
